An old acquaintance of Elias, and a technician of the magus craft.

* AngerBornOfWorry: Towards Chise, specially after the incident with the dragon. Angelica even slaps her for not following her advice of not trying to do everything by herself.
* CoolBigSis: While not related, she does take a liking to Chise and cares about her. When Chise inadvertently created a mess in her shop with her power, she doesn't blame Chise but Elias due to him not telling her about Chise's power nor giving Chise any explanations or training beforehand.
* EveryoneHasStandards: She makes it clear to Elias from the start she is not thrilled he 'bought' Chise nor is she happy with how inappropriate he acted with her.

* ScarsAreForever: She covers up her arms with long gloves to hide the crystals embedded into them due to a mistake she made training as a child.

Lindel's teacher and the one who named Elias.

* AmbiguouslyBrown: Has a dark skin tone, but the only thing known is that she is from somewhere in West Asia.
* DeepSleep: She enters these regularly enough that she doesn't know what era she's in when waking up for a moment.
* HighClassGlass: Wears a monocle.
* LabcoatOfScienceAndMedicine: She is usually wearing a labcoat.
* MasterApprenticeChain: She's Lindel's teacher, who in turn became Elias's mentor.

* TheDrifter: She doesn't have a home. All her worldly possessions are crammed in the old rucksack and the gunny bag she always carries.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: Her most visible scar is a burn mark that goes from her right eye to her ear, an evil scar. She isn't such a bad person, [[spoiler:but what she did to her sister might have made her earn that scar]].
* GreenEyedMonster: Felt this way about her sister, who was better at magic, at tending herbs, had beautiful red hair, and was ultimately chosen by the Black Widow to be her apprentice.
** [[spoiler:Even after sending her to her death and having a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment, she couldn't help but feel some joy that her perfect sister failed for once. This realization just makes her feel even worse about herself]].
* HealingFactor: Downplayed. As a magus, she heals quicker than a regular person, but she doesn't have a "healing gift" that would allow her to treat most injuries almost immediately.
* IncompletelyTrained: Was only taught a few of the basics by Doris, and has been given some pointers by fellow magi, but with no one to officially train her, Alex is very lacking as a magus.

* MagicStaff: [[{{Subversion}} Her staff broke down after a few seconds in the cursed marsh]]. [[spoiler:Fortunately, she ends up receiving her sister's]].

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Sends Ashley a letter, pretending to be a woman whose sister died in the cursed marsh, and asking her to go release her soul from it. She sent this letter hoping Ashley would fail and become a victim to the swamp herself. Which is exactly what happened. Alex has a breakdown when the Black Widow sends her a letter confirming Ashley's death]].
* TheRunaway: A winter after Ashley leaves with the Black Widow, Alex leaves home with only an old magic book, some herbs, and the clothes on her back. Not that her mother (or her father and step-father for that matter) cared at all.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SatoshiHino (Japanese), Creator/JarrodGreene (English), Alan Prieto (Latin American Spanish)

An alchemist who initially comes into conflict with Chise and Elias.

* AdaptationalBadass: Not himself, but the MixAndMatchCritters he uses [[spoiler:during the raid on Cartaphilus's hideout]] are given the ability to breath fire in the anime.
* AnArmAndALeg: Gave his arm to Cartaphilius to protect Alice.
* BadassInANiceSuit: He is almost always wearing his gray three-piece suit, and he's a talented and skilled wizard.
* BadassLongcoat: Always dons one when going out. Ever since he lost his arm, the left sleeve tends to flutter in the wind.
* ButForMeItWasTuesday: He eventually admits that when he suggested Alice to become his bodyguard, he was merely trying to give her a sense of purpose, and was hoping she would come up with something else to do with her life at some point. He wasn't expecting Alice to keep insisting on being his bodyguard by the time she was 18.
* CombatPragmatist: Renfred doesn't hesitate to shoot Joseph in the head when he is distracted by Elias.
* ComfortingComforter: For Alice.
* EarNotch: The attack that left his face scarred also left a nick on his left ear.
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: When he first appears, he and his apprentice Alice take Chise hostage when she is separated from Elias and renders a fae helpless by using a special glove with ColdIron woven into it, showcasing his pragmatic side. However, he makes it clear he would rather not kill the fae that he has at his mercy, and he expresses genuine sympathy for Chise along with offering her the chance to be free, showcasing he is not as much of a {{Jerkass}} as he initially seems.
* EveryoneHasStandards: He expresses disdain for Elias purchasing Chise.
* FantasticRacism: Has been famous for disliking magical creatures since he was a student.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: An interesting mix. The big slashes across the face are usually an evil scar, but one of those slashes goes over the bridge of the nose, which is a normally good scar. Regardless, first impressions aside, he is firmly in the side of good.
* HandicappedBadass: Just because he's missing an arm doesn't mean he has lost his skill as a wizard.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: While at first he seemed ruthless and cold, he's actually a good person who cares greatly about his apprentice, and the future of young wizards and magi.
* KeepingTheHandicap: He refuses to have a new arm grown, or even use a prosthesis, as a reminder of his carelessness.
* LikeADaughterToMe: Considers Alice to be his daughter.
* MindOverMatter: Has been shown to use telekinesis from time to time, such as when making books fall from their shelves when training Alice, or when trying to destroy Chise's pendant.
* NobleBigot: Adolf notes to himself that despite everyone saying he dislikes inhuman beings, Renfred still looks out for them.
* ParentalSubstitute: Has raised Alice since she was a teenager.
* PayEvilUntoEvil: Normally shooting someone in the head is not the right thing to do, but considering the monstrous things Joseph had done...
* RuggedScar: The claw mark on his face.
* ScarsAreForever: The scars he got after Alice became his apprentice are still there years later. [[spoiler:During their first meeting, Cartaphilus actually [[AScarToRemember cut them open to further show Renfred how much he is under his control]]]].
* SentimentalDrunk: He gets very emotional and self-deprecating after [[CantHoldHisLiquor just a few drinks]], causing Adolf to hate drinking with him.
* TakingTheBullet: Twice for Alice. First he protected her from a dangerous creature and got a scar to the face. [[spoiler: The second time, he lost his arm]].
* {{Teleportation}}: Developed a device capable of transporting things to a designated location.
* TrappedInVillainy: He was only involved in the incident at Ulthar because Cartaphilus was threatening him and Alice. Fortunately, they manage to break free during their next appearance.
* TraumaticHaircut: As seen on a flashback set before his first appearance, [[spoiler: Cartaphilus removed some of his hair while he was defenseless on the ground, having just lost his arm to Cartaphilus as well]]. Much like Chise, his hair is constantly growing throughout the series after that.
* TrickedOutGloves: Once wore a glove with ColdIron woven into it, allowing him to easily subdue the Ariel, a powerful wind fae.

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/KenichiSuzumura (Japanese), Seth Magill (English), Sinuhe Navarrete (Latin American Spanish)

* BelatedLoveEpiphany: Non-romantic example. He only started to really appreciate his hometown, and everyone in it, after everything was destroyed during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII.
* CareerEndingInjury: Failed to become a magus, since his magical core broke down. Because of that, he couldn't become a proper wizard either.
* ComfortingComforter: For Renfred, when he passes out drunk in his office.
* ConstantlyCurious: Not himself, but he does encourage this sort of behavior to Elias, who still has much to learn about humanity, and about himself.
* DisabilityImmunity: Since the part of him that produces magic broke down long ago, he is unaffected when [[spoiler:the dragon starts absorbing magic from its surroundings during the auction,]] unlike his companions who felt their energy being drained away.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: While he doesn't show it too often, he has some self-esteem issues regarding his failure to become a magus, and believes he wouldn't be worth anything at all if not for the work he does for the College.
* IllPretendIDidntHearThat: When visiting Chise and Elias [[spoiler:to personally ask Chise to join the College, Chise starts wondering if he would tell the College about Cartaphilus, who is currently residing in a well in Elias's residence. Adolf assures her that he would only have to report it if he hears about it]].
* MyGreatestFailure: Deeply regrets not being able to become a magus, as he wasn't able to help Lindel as much as he wanted.
* OlderThanTheyLook: Likely as a result of his training as a magus. He was born some time before World War II.
* OverworkedSleep: Suffers from this when overworking himself, which happens occasionally. At one point Lindel, through Merituuli, helps him get a good rest.
* PutOnABus: Midway through the College Arc, Adolf decides to leave for a six month vacation at the Dragon's Aerie.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: Her father got her hooked on drugs and made her become a dealer. If it wasn't for Renfred, she would still be trapped in that life.
* DeclarationOfProtection: Promised to be Renfred's bodyguard after an accident that scarred Renfred. He can take care of himself, of course, but he does rely on Alice for protection.
* FollowingInTheirRescuersFootsteps: She wants to be an alchemist in part because she was rescued by Renfred. When Renfred questions whether she truly wants to be one, Alice compares her situation to a kid wanting to become a fireman after being saved by one.
* HatesTheirParent: Her [[AbusiveParents father]] was a drug-addicted lowlife who only saw Alice as a means to get a fix. The suffering she went through was so bad that she started to believe all people weren't any better than him.
* HeroicSelfDeprecation: She really has some major insecurities related to the times she has failed to protect Renfred, and is actually afraid that she might actually be useless to him.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Like her master while at first she seemed ruthless, she shows a kinder side later on.
* IOweYouMyLife: She feels this for both Renfred and Chise.
** Renfred is the one who saved her from her troubled past, as well as from Cartaphilius.
** Chise pushed her out of the way from an attack of Cartaphilus meant to kill her, which resulted in Chise getting gravely injured instead.
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:The time Renfred [[TakingTheBullet took the bullet]] for her ''again'', this time resulting in [[AnArmAndALeg the loss of his arm]]]].
* MyMasterRightOrWrong: Everything she does is mostly to protect Renfred.
* OddFriendship: She develops this with Chise over the course of the series, despite being on opposite sides at first.
* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler:Averted from her side. She doesn't see Renfred as her father at all]].
* PlayingWithFire: [[spoiler:Blue Flame mentions her soul carries the scent of fire, meaning it serves well for powering its magic]].
* RecoveredAddict: She was initially a drug addict thanks to her father turning her into one so she could be a dealer for him. She recovered after Renfred took her in.
* RecruitedFromTheGutter: She was once a street urchin who dealt drugs and was an addict herself, but Renfred decided to take her in as an apprentice and bodyguard.
* TomboyishPonytail: Downplayed; she only wears part of her hair in a ponytail while letting the rest of it down. She's still a good deal more tomboyish than most of the other female characters though.
** She cuts her hair to shoulder length in order to make a contract with Blue Flame. He'll watch over her in exchange for being allowed to be next to her.

* DarkAndTroubledPast: [[spoiler:Every single relative he had was killed because of his jinx, including his grandmother, mother, aunt, uncle, and his cousin. He turned to violence and drugs to escape the pain, but found a woman who loved him and reassured him that it wasn't his fault they died, only to end up a victim of the jinx herself. This led Simon to try to kill himself.]]

* AbusiveParents: She is both emotionally and physically abusive towards Philomela. Nothing Philomela does is enough to please her, and Lizbeth tends to hit her and lock her up in a cell for any mistake.

[[folder:NarcisseMaugham]]

* ArmorPiercingSlap: [[spoiler:Or punch variant in this case. When Chise finds out that Elias was perfectly willing to sacrifice Stella in order to remove her dragon's curse, because he was jealous of her friendship with Stella, Chise angrily punches him in the face and tells him he's no different from a monster like Cartaphilus.]]

->'''Voiced by''': Creator/SatoshiHino (Japanese), Jarrod Greene (English), Alan Prieto (Latin American Spanish)

* {{Gainaxing}}: Her [[https://imgur.com/u2sKwK2 large breasts]] seem to have the the consistency of gelatin with the amount they wobble. Averted by her "branch" form, which appears much more childlike.

* MrExposition: Explains Chise several of the basics for a magus that Elias neglected to mention.

* TheOlderImmortal: By virtue of being older than Lindel and Elias, she's the oldest magus seen so far.

* TheStoic: He is the most levelheaded of the students, and usually keeps the same neutral expression on his face.

** This is in contrast with Rian, whose family is thriving, but who still wants to separate from them and forge his own path in life.

* TogetherInDeath: [[spoiler: With Matthew, thanks to Chise.]]

* TakingYouWithMe: After being shot, she uses her last moments to perform mirror-class hexcraft on Lizbeth's henchmen, making them suffer and die with her.

** [[spoiler:Chapter 42 finally gives the details, and holy hell does it [[UpToEleven take it to the extreme.]] Due to their innate magical nature, neither Chise nor Chika, who is implied to have been a sleigh beggy herself, were able to leave their small apartment much, due to the spirits who wanted to attack or [[ToServeMan eat them]], and at least in the apartment Yuuki's energy created a sort of barrier that protected them from said entities. One night however, Fumiki awoke crying, prompting Yuuki to take care of him. At that time, he sees a cat-like silhouette outside the apartment and decides to leave with Fumiki. [[DisappearedDad He never came back]], despite promising Chise he would]].

* ShadowArchetype: To Elias Ainsworth. Both are [[ImmortalImmaturity ancient beings with the emotional development of a child]] who see others as little more than tools to get their way or toys to satisfy their curiosity. However, Elias is ([[DarkAndTroubledPast usually]]) less overtly malevolent and is able to at least fake a level of maturity, not to mention that his relationship with Chise serves as a MoralityChain. Josef/Cartaphilus is far more overtly childlike, sadistic and disdainful of others, taking Elias's negative traits UpToEleven. [[spoiler:As the series progresses, the line between the two becomes blurry. Joseph starts being portrayed in a more sympathetic light as the suffering caused by his curse is emphasized and his origin story is revealed, while Elias proves that he can be just as much of a monster as Joseph when it benefits him.]]

'''Beware of unmarked spoilers'''.

* BlindingBangs: It is noted that he hates other people touching his hair, so he hasn't gone to the barber.

* BeastAndBeauty: The Beast to Chise's Beauty, especially when Elias takes [[HumanoidAbomination a monstruos form]].

* FusionDance: [[spoiler:A piece of it is implanted in Chise by Cartaphilus in order in order to keep her dragon curse in check. After both curses have completely settled down, resulting in Chise no longer been on risk of dying too soon, it even notes that now she has the same likelihood of either living or dying as any other creature]].

* AfraidOfBlood: She really abhors violence, even fighting a simple familiar causes her to faint afterwards.
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Whether it is studies, alchemy, or even games, she has always been more skilled than Rian.

* HeroicSelfDeprecation: Her grandmother's unpleasable and abusive attitude towards her has left Philomela with terrible self-esteem issues, and the that belief nothing she does is ever good enough.
* LegacyOfService: Her family serves House Rickenbacker, and Philomela in particular serves as Veronica's aide.

* {{Transflormation}}: [[spoiler:When the energy she absorbed became too overwhelming, she transformed into a tree]].

* AbusiveParents: She is both emotionally and physically abusive towards Philomela. Nothing Philomela does is enough to please her, and Lizbeth is quick to hit her for the tiniest mistakes.

* OverarchingVillain: He's as close to one as the series has.
